Junior Guinea Pig
Hi! We just brought home two rescue pigs. However we have noticed quite large bald patches on our girl Koda - they’re on her bum area (a bit above her grease gland). The area is very dry and has these white scales on it. We also found a clump of her fur in the cage - were not sure if this was yanked out by one of the others, or if it just fell out. It seems quite stuck together.
Poor Koda is very dirty and her fur doesn’t feel too great. I am planning on bathing her tomorrow to get the dirt and clumps out. However, what could these dry, bald patches of skin be? What can I do about it?
